Supposedly, green peppers with three "lobes" on the bottom are female, whereas those with four lobes are male.
Did you know that? I learned it just this summer and was reminded of it as I picked some peppers from my garden this morning.
But perhaps this "male-female" claim is a bunch of hogwash. I suspect it is.
And then there are those like the four on the left with one bump. Male? Gender neutral?
Bottom line: I love green peppers and can't wait to include this morning's harvest in my fall cooking. I'll dice them, spread them on a cookie sheet and freeze them, then remove them from the cookie sheet and return them to the freezer in freezer bags. That way, the diced pieces aren't frozen together into unmanageable lumps.
looks tasty, be sure and tell us the truth about their sexes! lol...

I saw this somewhere recently also. Interesting. I'm not much of a green pepper fan. I like the red and yellow ones though.
ReplyDeleteNo, I didn't know that and YES, it did grab my attention. Too funny!
